About Ana
Ana Andreea Haynes is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions and problems with self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, career change, parenting strains and patterns linked to codependency.
She uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult experiences and repeated responses to others. Ana often draws on client-centred principles so the pace follows what the person brings.
Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are used to build simple, practical steps for day-to-day life. This can include short coping practices to reduce overwhelm, or small experiments in setting limits and saying no. When feelings are hard to name, the focus is on noticing bodily responses and gentle reflection rather than pushing for detail.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced sexual and physical abuse, emotional harm, and exploitation. She has experience supporting those affected by substance misuse and modern slavery, and she also works with people managing bipolar symptoms and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and Ana accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Ana blends approaches for online work
Ana commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current behaviour and emotional responses. This approach helps when patterns repeat in close relationships or when trust and closeness feel difficult to sustain.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to name and work with strong emotions in the context of relationships. EFT-style work helps people see how emotions link to interaction patterns and try new, small ways of responding.
Client-centred principles guide her pacing so sessions follow what the person brings and emphasise listening and reflection. This is useful when someone feels unsure where to start or finds it hard to speak about painful things.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative selection can change as trust and clarity grow.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping contact when travel is difficult. Different formats can suit different rhythms of life, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid lengthy travel and fit therapy around work or caregiving commitments.
